Murray is Mint..

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Andy Murray produced the game of his life last night as he beat Rafael Nadal in 4 sets to progress into the final of the US Open, where he will face defending champion Roger Federer.  Murray enters his first Grand Slam final as a big underdog and with all of the added Media attention that his victory over the World Number 1 has attracted, it will be a big test of the 21 year olds character but if he manages to hold it together I think he can beat Federer, and beat him well

Remember, Murray is 2-1 to the good head-to-head against Federer and will be fully aware of this fact himself (and vice versa).  If the wind keeps blowing, we should see plenty of oppertunities for breaking and this will definately favour Murray, who has been returning the ball brilliantly all week.  With the confidence gained from beating Nadal and the support of the crowd, the 7/4 available for him here is far too good to pass up.  Whatever happens it promises to be a cracking final, and we can only hope that it lives up to the epic battle we witnessed at Wimbledon earlier this year.  I am going to go all out and say 3-0 Murray, I know it sounds crazy but sure if your gonna be wrong you may as well be very wrong.
